Trivia

• Fascinate's Japanese name is that of Captivate, a move that later appeared in Generation IV of the Pokémon games.
• The promo Dark Persian is essentially a reprint of this card, the primary differences being the different artwork, and Fascinate being called Tempt on that card. The attacks have the exact same effect, and the Japanese versions of the cards referred to both attacks by the same name. The reason for the differing names on the English versions is unknown.
